1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The number and function of bovine mammary-gland phagocytes were assessed in 8 lactating cows, each tested at least twice within an 8-mo period (total number of observations, 20). Macrophages and polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells were evaluated by conventional cytology, flow cytometry, fluorescent microscopy, and somatic-cell count (SCC). Phagocytosis was evaluated from the uptake of fluorescent beads and expressed as median fluorescence intensity (MFI). Two major subpopulations of phagocytes, of low or high MFI (LFI or HFI), were observed, and there were up to 4 sub-subpopulations within the HFI subpopulation of both macrophages and PMN cells. Fluorescent microscopy identified phagocytes containing up to 4 beads per cell. Cows showing < or = 72.3% phagocytes by cytology were regarded as non-mastitic (11 observations), and those showing > or = 80.7% phagocytes were considered to be mastitic (8 observations). Phagocyte MFI was negatively associated with mastitis; that is, the higher the MFI, the lower the SCC. The percentage of HFI PMN cells was the only indicator of mastitis with 100% sensitivity and specificity. Thus, bovine mammary-gland phagocytes consist of several subpopulations of different phagocytic ability, whose assessment more adequately predicts bovine mastitis than do morphologic indicators.
